Joint Road Safety Plan 2011-2015

Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray Road Safety Plan 2011-2015 

This is the first joint Road Safety Plan to be produced by Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, and The Moray Council. Road safety is a statutory duty and until now, each authority has produced its own Road Safety Plan. However, the commonalities between the areas in terms of the nature of accidents, and the close partnerships that have been built in taking forward other joint road safety campaigns in recent years, in particular the production of the Joint Road Safety Strategy for North East Scotland, has influenced the decision to develop this joint Road Safety Plan.

The development of this Plan coincides with the end of the UK Government’s ten year Road Casualty Reduction target period from 2000-2010 and the introduction of the Scottish Government’s new National Road Safety Framework to 2020. This Framework sets out new Scottish Casualty Reduction targets beyond 2010.

This new joint Plan for the period 2011-2015 reviews progress in recent years and sets out new strategies to assist in the monitoring of individual performance.  Whilst presently specific targets are not being set, casualty reduction strategies will contribute to the overall reduction in casualties nationally.

The Scottish Government recognise that in some of the 32 local authority areas, casualty numbers are already so low that targets could be very difficult to achieve and therefore have asked each of the partners to contribute to the targets through joint working and ensuring that they have a joined up approach to road safety rather than translating the national targets directly to local statistics.
